AFAIK you are talking about the Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header and that is a
normal HTTP header so you can add it using the normal http header functions.

So if this had been C and not js then:

struct curl_slist *slist = curl_slist_append (NULL,
"Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: protocol");
curl_easy_setopt (curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, slist);

to set it to the value "protocol".
